In Response To: Other: Car topping a double (Ric)

: My wife wants a double and I'm OK with the idea but we need to be able to put
: it on top of our car which doesn't have a long roof. Does anyone have
: experience with a 21' kayak on a roof rack that only has a 43"
: separation of the front and rear cradles?

: Thanks,

: Ric

I had an 18' on a '91 Accord. I used foam blocks directly on the roof. Flat roof. Bow and stern lines to bumpers. With a double you at least have someone to help lift. That would be a struggle alone.
